Formulation
WD-40's main ingredients as supplied in aerosol cans, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:

50% "aliphatic hydrocarbons". The manufacturer's website specifically claims that this fraction in the current formulation cannot be accurately
referred to as Stoddard solvent, a similar mixture of hydrocarbons.[8]

If you have a lock that's getting creaky, or the pins are holding onto the key, spray a little WD-40 on both sides of the key (best way is using that
little red tube it comes with), then work the key in & out of the lock a few times. The lock will usually be good as new.

WD-40 is a great product and has been used for years for multi of things. But i have found some stuff that works a bit better its called Aero Kroil
you should really check out this stuff works much better for the things in the garage then wd-40

I was out fishing one day when this guy asked me if I had caught anything. I said, yes I always do well in this area. He tells me that he fishes there
often but never catches anything. He goes on to say that he uses the same kind of baits that he has seen other people use there. He watches people
catch fish with the same stuff he's using but never catches anything.

So after talking and fishing for a bit he snags a rock and breaks his line. He opens his box to tie on some new tackle and pulls out this jar. I asked
him, what do you have there? He said, I don't want my hooks to rust so I keep them in a jar full of WD-40, it works great. I laughed and said, well
there's your problem. Lol.

I explained to him that fish are extremely sensitive to smells and it's no wonder he hasn't caught anything. So I gave him some of my hooks and told
him he will probably have better luck with them. I bet you can guess what happened next. That's right, he started catching fish. He was pretty happy
and laughed at himself for not thinking the WD-40 was the problem, especially since it was the one thing he was doing that was different than everyone
else.

Of course, that was saltwater fishing. Maybe it's different for freshwater fish. I don't think it would be but maybe it is.

Those who don't live here just have no idea. There are a couple of weeks a year, where this just gets SO disgusting. I just wash the vehicles
immediately, so it doesn't dry there. The FL sun can back them on too, in short order.

You'll see vehicles just COVERED in bug guts during the brief season for it.
